W.; Žukauskiene, Rita – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2022
Evidence suggests an impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health, particularly among emerging adults.

Because cultural values are central in…

Three sets of self-generated questions raised by children, adolescents and…
